Cherry Ripe

I didn't know where to post this, so I just punted and put it here.

I might be talked into parting with this magnificent, never used, well taken care of specimen. I am the second owner and it has never seen harsh weather, or elevated temperatures. Imported from Oz by a reputable, (sort of) Cherry Ripe runner. Should I try EBay? Maybe trade for a ???

Hurry before I lose all self control and consume this rare delicacy. :D

I understand that one of these has enough sugar to sustain 16 ant farms for 12000 years.

    Ok, these Cherry Ripes are causing me drain bamage. I can order some from the internet, but it's a $20 minimum order, and then on top of that something like $24 shipping.

    That's a lot of dough for a candybar sample, but then I got to thinking, hey, I could market them as the perfect Photographers Candy bar and sell the overstock after I get my requisite sample taste.

    Then the Simpsons come on the air, and I forget about the idea until "Cherry Ripes" are again mentioned on the forum.

    I guess you guys didn't know that besides his regular day job flying around the country, and making people happy to pay lots of money, Andy has a second job. He is a undercover salesman for Canon. His number 1 job priority is to push L like it is crack. Thats how come he can keep getting all these new canon toys all the time and why he had to sell the ziess. deal.gif Hmm its a wonder I don't have any conspiracy stories about the goverment yet.
